Yesterday, Tomory and I had an enjoyable, hot, sunny afternoon spent outdoors dyeing various pieces of fabric (wool, sliks, cottons) with Setacolor dyes. We've been wanting to do this for a while, and we'll see where it leads. Many more pictures of our fun from this experimental dyeing session are on my on my Instagram. 

I may, may do a tutorial on this, although it barely requires one (see link)...they are very easy to use! 

I hope to plan a day in the very near future for both my young and old friends, inviting them all over for a day of crafting & dyeing, with a BBQ afterwards, and documenting it for y'all. But! If it doesn't happen, please don't be upset...I have about 5 other projects going on right now, and I'm only one person :) (I am the ERMIE "team").

Last night, of course, was a full Harvest Moon. Amazing. Dreams of meteor showers, apocalyptic alien invasions (recurring) and no doubt the light of the moon itself woke me at about 4 am. Put some slippers and a sweater on, walked outside & took some snapshots. I encountered a humongous, beautiful, moth on our front porch, took some pictures of it, went back inside, and went back to sleep.

Makings of Brunswick Stew...we also made this.

Around the house on a Sunday.

Details of a beautiful textile acquired by my friend Emilyn at a deacessioning sale held by the Mingei Museum a while ago...$10! A bargain. More photos on my Instagram.

= beauty

dusk+ having our house painted/ plastic sheeting = beauty...who knew?

It's only been a couple weeks, but I feel like I have been away from this space forever. 

Hopelessly addicted to Instagram...trying to get into the practice of taking photos with my 'camera' camera again.

NEW exclusively at Beklina: 

The ERMIE Bokeh Print Dress in 100% Washed Silk. 

Slips on, no closures, comes with a detachable matching sash. 

A reissued print from the first ERMIE Collection in 2010, it is a photograph of light filtering through quince bushes outside my bedroom window.

Also at Beklina...there are still a few silk tank dresses in the striking Raku Print (I wish I would have made one of these for myself...it would be perfect for a scorching day like today!)
